An unfamiliar light in the sky this morning - 'twas the sun! It's nice that our Easter visitors will have a bit of bright weather even if it's still a bit chilly.
Daisy was filled with sunny joie de vivre...

The wind is howling. Force 6-7 gusting 8 they said on the shipping forecast. I dug out my ski goggles for this afternoon's walk and very good they were too! The wind had blown sea foam right across the path and into the fields. Daisy was a bit unsure...

A walk on the beach (with goggles firmly in place) into the teeth of the wind. For a brief moment the sun broke through and the grey became silver and beautiful. Then we turned for home with the wind at our backs.

A very cold NE wind whipped in from Siberia and threw the sea into an angry rage. Wintry showers blew in every 10 minutes and seemed to throw their hail at the beach, the dunes and the one man and his dog with a vindictive fury.

A huge cloud approached from the N Sea. We fastened up our coats and kept walking. As it got a darker a few crystals of ice started bouncing off the sand and then off our heads. The hail cloud raced overhead and so the downpour didn't last long and it headed West to drop on someone else.
